A little ritual. A world of plants. Napar brings a botanical atlas and a collection of infusion recipes into one thoughtfully designed space. Explore plants, discover new flavours and take a moment to brew something lovely. 80 PLANTS TO EXPLORE Explore 80 illustrated plant profiles with common and scientific names, detailed descriptions, the parts used, preparation tips, flavour pairings and storage guidance. The curated atlas focuses on culinary ingredients. 100 INFUSION RECIPES Try dried pear with rosemary and clove, discover fruit-and-herb combinations, and follow ingredient quantities, preparation steps and brewing times. Start the built-in timer while your infusion steeps. Recipes use food-grade ingredients, not unidentified wild plants. YOUR OWN BOTANICAL COLLECTION Save plants and recipes to your personal collection. The atlas, recipes and favourites are available offline. PHOTO EXPLORATION Compare up to three photos with the on-device model to explore possible plant matches. The local model covers a limited selection of 30 plant categories and does not identify every plant in the atlas. FIVE LANGUAGES Explore Napar in English, French, German, Spanish or Polish. Plant matches are suggestions, not proof of identity or edibility. Never consume a plant based on an app result. Napar provides botanical and culinary information, not medical advice.
